Crystal ossilator to second chip...

I have a board from olimex with a 20mhz crystal... I want to tap the signal and use it to drive another chip. I plan to run a wire from OSC2/PIN14, but I can't test until I get the other chip out of its board (its the IR cam from the Wiimote) next Wednesday. I have attached the schematic of the board. Can anyone tell me if my thinking is correct?

Here config settings for the pic18f4550
__CONFIG _CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_2_1L
__CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H
__CONFIG _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L & _BOR_ON_2L & _BORV_2_2L & _VREGEN_ON_2L
__CONFIG _CONFIG2H, _WDT_OFF_2H
__CONFIG _CONFIG3H, _MCLRE_ON_3H & _LPT1OSC_OFF_3H & _PBADEN_OFF_3H & _CCP2MX_ON_3H
__CONFIG _CONFIG4L, _STVREN_ON_4L & _LVP_OFF_4L & _ICPRT_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L & _DEBUG_OFF_4L

I have run up to 5 micros with one crystal, but they are all very close together, so don't try to extend a wire too far. When I did it I shared both pins 13 and 14 between the chips, not sure if that really matters or not.

to get more drive on that OSC out line you could buffer with an inverter . . .

I asked the question because I didn't understand how the crystals work and what the difference is to the resonators...As far as I understand now, the crystal amplifies ac noise at its resonant frequency at startup until everything is in synch with its resonant frequency...So there's a 5volt AC signal present there? I'm guessing I could pull one line into the comparator, and use the comparator output...Would that help to extend the wire?
